Getting that pre-winter break energy OUT at the last enrichment class this afternoon!

Thank you to all our volunteer instructors, families and GES staff who make these possible for our students!

We had some very messy fun with our icy North Atlantic sensory bins this afternoon! Squeezing frozen shaving cream is SO satisfying!

Thanks to our volunteers for making these classs happen for our students!

Reminder that this week is the last week for after school fall enrichment classes!

Thank you to all our volunteers for making these classes possible! Information for our winter enrichment classes will be shared when details are available.

Have a safe and healthy winter break!

Prepping for our “No Place for Hate” assembly!

Games Galore has been a wonderful way for our students to burn off some extra energy this December!

Thank you again to our GES community for supporting the PTA’s enrichment program!

Our Crafts for Kindness enrichment class delivered notes of appreciation and goodie bags to our GES teachers and staff! Thank you for making our school a kinder place!

Today in Titanic enrichment class we talked about artic mirages! The kids created artwork with a very starry night sky to demonstrate the unusually bright, twinkling stars on the night Titanic sank.

Another fantastic enrichment class - Games Galore has been a hit!

Thank you to all our volunteers who make the classes happen each week and to our GES families for their support!

How long would you last in the icy waters of the North Atlantic?

Yesterday in Titanic Revisited class we tested our ability to hold our hands in ice water that hovered around 35 degrees. Our average was much higher than suspected - 93.5 seconds!

We’re halfway through our winter enrichments and having a great time!

Our little yogis finding serenity during relaxation time - embracing the peace within at the yoga enrichment class today ✌️

Thank you to everyone who made our first week of enrichment classes a success! We hope all the students enjoyed them! They will continue until the week of 12/18.
